Being able to deploy machine learning applications at the edge is the key to unlocking a multi-billion dollar market. TinyML is the art and science of producing machine learning models frugal enough to work at the edge, and it's seeing rapid growth.

Edge computing is booming. Although the definition of what constitutes edge computing is a bit fuzzy, the idea is simple. It's about taking compute out of the data center, and bringing it as close to where the action is as possible.

Whether it's stand-alone IoT sensors, devices of all kinds, drones, or autonomous vehicles, there's one thing in common. Increasingly, data generated on the edge are used to feed applications powered by machine learning models.

There's just one problem: machine learning models were never designed to be deployed on the edge. Not until now, at least. Enter TinyML.

Tiny machine learning (TinyML) is broadly defined as a fast growing field of machine learning technologies and applications including hardware, algorithms and software capable of performing on-device sensor data analytics at extremely low power, typically in the mW range and below, and hence enabling a variety of always-on use-cases and targeting battery operated devices.

Orchestrate all the Things

Connecting the dots with George Anadiotis: Analyst, Consultant, Engineer, Founder, Host, Researcher, and Writer.

Stories about Tech, Data, AI and Media, and how they flow into each other shaping our lives.

I’ve engaged from the likes of Gary Marcus and Andrew Ng to emerging thinkers and innovators across multiple domains.

My stories have been featured on ZDNet and VentureBeat, and are syndicated across DZone, Hackernoon, Medium and Substack.

Some might call this futurism; let’s just say it’s connecting the dots

Many conversations have a technical focus. Most also examine business perspectives and use cases, while others are socio-technical.

Some are analyses on emerging themes – picking them up early, featuring expert comment, or offering alternative takes.

Others cover breaking news, typically also featuring the people behind them plus some analysis. There are some book reviews as well.

I focus on the connection between data, analytics, data science, graphs, machine learning and AI and their impact on society and business.

I have been covering topics related to:

  • AI and Machine Learning
  • Data, Analytics and Data Science
  • Knowledge Graphs, Graph Databases, Graph AI & Data Science
  • Innovation, and a wide array of technologies such as Blockchain, Cloud, Observability, IoT, Open Data and Open Source, Social Media and Software Engineering.
